Description
Four decades after the event unfolded, "Kent State: A Requiem" examines one aspect of the tragedy.
Four students were killed on May 4th, 1970 when Ohio National Guard troops opened fire on students protesting the Vietnam War on campus. Columbus State theater students are the featured actors.
Written by by J. Gregory Payne, the play remembers the lives of the four lost students. Faculty member Frank Barnhart is the director.
Known as "The Day the War Came Home" -- the Kent State shootings changed the course of history.
Performances are all in the Nestor Hall Auditorium at 8 o'clock nightly this Wednesday through Saturday -- with a 3 p.m. matinee on Thursday. Admission is free.
